Rajon Rondo once again will get to share the court with his old friend Kendrick Perkins. This time in the celebrity game that will conclude Perk’s basketball camp. This is solid news for Celtics fans. Granted Rondo will not be going on all out fro this game, but the fact that he is playing means his rehab is coming along nicely. The injured elbow must be well enough to get on the floor or the Celtics would not allow him to participate in the game. I am sure the game will be entertaining with these talented players on the floor. I am sure Rondo will find his old friend for some of those traditional easy scores. I am just hoping Perk goes up strong instead of dribbling to the floor. Unfortunately, I bet some things never change. Remember Go Green Or Go Home!!!!!!

Carlos Boozer could play overseas

Add Chicago Bulls forward Carlos Boozer to the list of NBA players looking to play overseas in light of the current NBA lockout.Boozer told ESPN The Magazine on Wednesday that he will pursue signing with a foreign team if the season doesn't start on time.

"I think as players we have to look at this lockout as an unfortunate challenge, but one that can create other unique and positive opportunities," he said. "When I was part of Team USA that won Olympic Gold in Beijing, that experience changed my life in incredible ways.

"If the NBA season gets delayed or postponed, I plan on using those months to experience something similar to what I did in the summer of 2008. That's why, if the lockout continues, I definitely plan on playing overseas."

Boozer declined to say whether he already had a deal in place or a specific country he was targeting, but a source indicated that the reference to Beijing reflects an inclination to play in China.
